I864 Sponsor and Joint Sponsor questions 8 and 9

Hi everyone,

I am the petitioner for an F3 visa (Daughter + Spouse + 5 Children).
My income does not meet the poverty guidelines so I will have my son(lives outside of household) who is a USC fill one out as well to be a joint sponsor.

Please correct me if I am wrong:
-----------------------
QUESTION 1:
-----------------------
- I(petitioner) will have to fill out an I864.(No need for my wife to fill out an I864A because only my income will be counted as she's unemployed)
- My son(only joint sponsor) will have to fill out an I864.(No need for his spouse to fill out an I864A because only his income will be counted as she's unemployed)
?
-----------------------
QUESTION 2:
-----------------------
The joint sponsor will sponsor everyone who's immigrating as his income is 100K+. However I am unclear on the following fields:

8. I am sponsoring the principal immigrant named in Part 2 above.
9. I am sponsoring the following family members immigrating at the same time or within six months of the principal immigrant named in Part 2 above. Do not include any relative listed on a separate visa petition.

Here's how I answered them on the respective i864s.

Petitioner's I864: (Total # sponsored = 7)
8. Checked off the box and checked off YES.
9. Checked off box and listed spouse + 5 children)
Joint Sponsor's I864: (Total # sponsored = 7)
8. Checked off the box and checked off YES.
9. Checked off box and listed spouse + 5 children)

Basically the same for both I864s. Am I correct in doing so?
-----------------------
QUESTION 3:
-----------------------
In the instructions it states to photocopy the I864 for each intending immigrant as per paragraph 3 in the "Do I Need to Submit a Separate Affidavit for Each Family Member?" question.

Daughter + 6 derivative immigrants.

(Petitioner to make 6 copies + original) + (Joint Sponsor to make 6 copies + original) = a total of 12 I864s
- Only 1 copy of supporting documents needed(tax, passport)

Is this what the NVC wants?

Thanks in advance,
Mike

Q1 Yes
Q2 Yes
Q3 Your I-1864s need 1 copy of your supporting documents, the Joint Sponsor's I-864s need 1 copy of his supporting documents.

Yes I will provide 1 copy the supporting documents for each the petitioner's I864 and the joint sponsor's I864.

Thank you very much "Raven". I've read a lot of your posts as I was filling out the applications pertaining to my case. You've helped many people, all is appreciated.

Regards,
Mike

Correction: A total of 14 I864s
2 original I864s from the petitioner and joint sponsor and 6 copies for each(6 derivative immigrants) which brings the total to 14.
